Great GPS for the price

 

Honestly, the main reason I purchased this particular GPS was that it was on sale and one of the cheaper ones. However, after using it, I would recommend buying it over the Garmin. I find it to be much better to understand and operate than the Garmin...

Easy to understand directions, good price

Easy to use, but very outdated from the start.

 

The maps were out of date as soon as I bought it. Some roads didn't exist on the GPS that have been there for a year. I would have to pay to update it. Easy to use but takes a while to fix position.This product has... Large/easy to see screen, Easy...

Simple

Old maps

Consumer review by:

Worthless piece of junk don't waste your money

 

Took it home, hooked it up to computer. It said a new map needed to be installed. Attempted to install, got "insufficient memory" error. Called tech support. They said uninstall the preloaded map then download the new map. Uninstalled preloaded map....
